As a prominent Seattle lawyer, ICQ plays an important role in Mr. Paul's day-to-day work: on his law firm's website, he has not only the company's contact number, but also the company's ICQ number; Through ICQ's group function, Paul can easily notify everyone of the affairs of the firm in the group; Through ICQ's roaming function and file transfer function, he can not only easily communicate with the client about the case, but also easily work when he gets home after work, without having to go back to the company because he forgot something because of carelessness......

In Paul's opinion, his monthly membership fee and account security fee are too well spent, this little thing provides unimaginable convenience for his work, the only problem is that occasionally a user will send him a message through ICQ when he is off duty, but he is not in front of the computer at this time...... At this time, he is particularly looking forward to the launch of the mobile phone equipped with the ICQ mobile client software soon, so that he can make his work seamless. Pen? Interesting?

Today is the day of the official release of ICQ mobile phones, Paul deliberately got up early in the morning, he wanted to equip every lawyer in the company with an ICQ mobile phone, Paul who went out early in the morning thought that he had come early enough, but to his surprise, when he came to the nearest RIM sales store from his company, it was already full of people outside...... It's not time for the store to open yet.

"Hey, Paul, you're here?" When Paul looked at the store in front of him, he hesitated whether to change the store and check it out. Someone tapped him on the shoulder from behind.

The familiar voice surprised Paul: "Simon? Why are you here? ”

Simon is also a lawyer in Seattle, and the two met through the bar association. The relationship has always been good, but Paul didn't expect to be able to meet Simon here.

"Isn't it because of this?" Simon gestured to the shop in front of him. Looking at the crowd again, he said helplessly: "I'm going to buy two ICQ mobile phones, you know, we lawyers can't do without this thing now...... What about you? Also? ”

"Of course, I'm going to buy one for each of my lawyers," Paul nodded, looking at the crowd, and couldn't help frowning: "There are too many people here, shall we change one?" ”

"Don't." Simon smiled bitterly and said, "It's pretty good here, I've run three places, and it's more crowded than here." ”

"Isn't it?" Paul was taken aback by Simon's words, and the idea of trying his luck in a different shop was gone: "How can there be so many people?" ”

Simon was very calm about Paul's surprise, spread his hands, and Simon said: "This is normal, don't look at how many people use ICQ to work and work now?" ”

“…… That's just as well. "Considering that almost all members of the Bar Association are ICQ users, companies and individuals who do business with their own firms also use ICQ to contact them most of the time. Paul had to nod with a wry smile and said with emotion: "I didn't expect that in less than 2 years, this little thing has been so inseparable from our work......"

As soon as he said this, Simon felt a relative: "Who said it wasn't?" I can't imagine what I would do if I lost my account and didn't apply for account hold......"

……………………

Looking at the crowd outside, there were more than 200 meters of people. Steve, the store manager, who was about to open, was frightened: "Why are there so many people?" ”

Also frightened was the deputy store manager, but his reaction was a little faster, and he said with some hesitation: "Maybe they are all here to buy mobile phones, right?" ”

"Are you here to buy a phone?" Steve, who hadn't seen this since the store opened, couldn't believe it.

"Do you have any other explanation?" The assistant store manager spread his hands. Asked rhetorically.

"Uh......" seems to be true, though I still can't believe it. But the crowd outside made him have to believe that these people came to line up so early in the morning, and it seemed that they were really buying mobile phones. But then, the poor store manager was about to cry: "It seems that we only bought 300 ......"

The deputy manager of "300 ......" was also stupid: Look at these people in line, there are no less than three or four hundred people, doesn't this mean that the machines in his store are not enough to sell to these people in front of him? The poor assistant store manager turned his head to look at the store manager stupidly: "What should I do?" Why don't we open the door later? ”

Open the door later? What do you think? The store manager glared at the deputy store manager angrily: "What else can I do?" Hurry up and call to order, we need at least 500 here, no! It's 1,000 units! Well, by the way, immediately have someone make a billboard, and each customer can only buy a maximum of 2 ......"

"Why can I only buy two?" Paul, who was going to give his 12 lawyers a mobile phone, was furious, he could only buy two after waiting in line for so long? Do you have a business like this? Angry, Paul slapped the counter hard and said loudly: "I'm a company user, I want to have one for no one in my company, what's the problem?" Do you know how long I've been in line? ”

After trying this ICQ full-keyboard mobile phone with a similar layout to the computer keyboard in the experience area, Paul fell in love with this mobile phone: this is the mobile phone for business people like himself, the design of the full keyboard makes his income at least twice as fast as the mobile phone, and the huge large screen allows him to clearly see what he has typed before, but each person can only buy 2? This is simply unbearable, when did the United States also have such a thing as a purchase restriction?

Although the anger in my heart has long been unbearable, I can't help it, I can't help it, I can't help it, there are dozens or hundreds of powder kegs in the store that may explode at any time, how dare I not help it? So many people dare to tear themselves apart. The store manager, who had already played with his sleeves and went into battle in person, smiled cautiously: "This gentleman, I can completely understand your feelings, but I'm really sorry, we only prepared 300 mobile phones......"

Hearing the store manager say this, the crowd behind immediately exploded: There are so many people, there are only 300 units, and each person can buy 2 units? Do you still have it when you wait until you are yourself?

"What? Only 300 units? ”

"Why only 300 units?"

"Hurry up and transfer the goods, are you stupid?"

The poor store manager smiled more and more bitterly: "We didn't expect so many friends to like our products......"

He didn't dare to say that when he called to ask for another 1,000 units, the headquarters unceremoniously told him that he could only give him 100 units at most, and there was no more, and the customer's emotions needed him to find a way to appease him, and he did a good job, and the bonus was doubled this month, and if he didn't do well, he would change someone to be the store manager, in short, it must not go wrong......

When Jim. When Bellsley reported the situation to Lin Zheng, Lin Zheng was a little surprised: "The market reaction is so good? ”

Own products are now in short supply, and the market is crazy about the general rush to buy, Jim. Bear Sley's mood seemed to be extremely good, and he said to Lin Zheng in high spirits: "It's so good, we have renegotiated the order with the foundry, and added an order of 500,000 + 500,000 on the basis of the previous order of 500,000 + 500,000." ”

Not much, the reaction is quite fast, Lin Zheng to Jim. Bellsley is very satisfied with the fact that he was able to place additional orders so quickly, but compared with this, he is more concerned about the sales of several other ICQ mobile phones, after all, the original launch of the ICQ mobile phone client was jointly developed by Siemens, Motorola, Kyocera, Nokia and several other companies.

"The market response to their products is also very good, but it is still not as good as the market response of our products, and we are the only ICQ phone on the market to launch a large screen and a full keyboard," said Jim. Bellsley was excited: "Now Siemens and Motorola are contacting us, hoping that we can license the patent for the full keyboard to them." ”

Speaking of which, Jim. Bellsley can't help but feel a little regretful, the patent of the full keyboard does not belong to RIM, but belongs to another company of the boss, Lianchuang Technology, if this patent belongs to RIM, how good would it be? With this patent grant alone, RIM can make a lot of money in a year.

However, in front of his boss, he naturally couldn't show too much, and reported a new trend to Lin Zheng: "Kyocera, Siemens, and Motorola are very interested in the Wi-Fi wireless fidelity technology we apply on mobile phones, and hope to obtain our patent authorization." ”

Jim. Bellsley was depressed, but Lin Zheng was happy: the Wi-Fi market response was so good?

"The Wi-Fi function is very practical, and after experiencing the convenience of wireless LAN in the store, many users will buy a wireless router in addition to a mobile phone...... Boss, Hines told me that you are preparing to bring ICQmusicplayer to your mobile phone, and in the future, MP3 music can also be downloaded through wireless networks, right? ”

Jim. It was not surprising that Bellsley knew this, Hines was also his subordinate, and it was Jim who surprised Lin Zheng. Bear Silley's acumen on the matter: "What do you want to say? ”

"I've heard that the Recording Industry Association of America has a lot of resistance to mp3s......"

The American Recording Industry Association's resistance to MP3 is more serious, that's right, the promotion of MP3 products, they are the ones who lose the most, of course they are the first to jump out and oppose it, but Lin Zheng doesn't care, and waved his hand: "Don't worry about them, leave this matter to me to solve!"
